Patrol team leader Zhao Ge clenched his teeth and forcefully pulled out a scorpion's tail stinger embedded in his arm. Dark red blood mixed with a rotten smell immediately splattered out, some of it landing on his face, blurring his vision with a crimson haze.
He didn't bother to wipe the bloodstains off his face.
Zhao Ge quickly grabbed the bandage he had prepared beforehand, wrapped it around the wound on his arm, and tied a knot.
He took out a bottle of Elixir Pills from his bosom, popped the stopper with his thumb, and drank it all in one gulp.
As the medicinal effects kicked in.
Zhao Ge's chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid.
His face, dark as charcoal, gradually showed a layer of dark red, and large beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.
